Hello Smashazoidz, Otakus and all others without formal titles. CC12 made this section for contests and this is where we will soon be adding more and more. Rather than have the contests scattered throughout the forum, we thought that it might work better here in one central location. This may or may not prove to be the better way. If it isn't better then I suppose we will revert back to the old way or maybe come up with some new way.
None the less, this is the current place to find the contests. We are also working on the awards system to maintain the trophy count for all members to see. In theory, as a member wins a contest and is awarded their trophy, all their contest achievements will be added and maintained in a new section that is related to this section. Admin may come along soon and add more to this, but for now, hopefully we all get the idea on this. If not, don't worry. You will understand after we finish the whole plan.
The previous contests still count, but as we mentioned before, those contests were just sort of warm up contests. This is not to say that those previous contest were necessarily easy but that they were just the prototypes, shall we say.
There will be essentially 3 different difficulty levels for the contests. As you might assume, the difficulty levels will be: Hard, medium and easy. Each difficulty level (hard, medium and easy) will have a F.E.C. point value assigned to it. This will likely be a sliding point value given that some contests will be hard even for experts in their given videogame category. In other words, if you are a Mario expert and you attempt to answer a "Hard" question, then it will truly be hard-even for the experts. Likewise, there will also be easy questions that even a novice videogame person could conceivably get correct.
But, hold on! We didn't forget about our anime /manga and other friends. We will also have plenty of non-videogame contests for these members. And, again, the non-anime/manga/art/music/TV/movie fans will be able to participate in these contests as well. The goal here is to make this contests thing something for everyone. We want everyone to feel that they have a chance with this because we will make contests for all to take part in.
By the way, the contests will take many forms: Simple question, images, music and so on. There will be no pattern to the contests either. By this I mean that one week may be followed by another week of the same type contest e.g. videogame contests but maybe not too. One week may be videogame the next anime. You won't know until it is uploaded to the forum.
One more thing. Wouldn't it be cool if a member could create their own contest? I thought so. To that end, we are working on a way where a member earns enough F.E.C. that they can do just that. Stay tuned for more on that later.
Well, I think that might be enough to get started with. We hope this contest stuff is fun and everybody is happy. Good luck!
For now, why not skip on over and check out the first official contest in the new section which is right below this introductory thread?
Okay, that's it for now. I hope this helps a little bit.
